Answer:

Width = 4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

$P=2l+2w$

Where

P is perimeter

l is length

w is width

Given length = 3.6 and perimeter = 16.8, we plug them in into the formula and figure out the width, w. Process shown below:

$P=2l+2w\\16.8=2(3.6)+2w\\16.8=7.2+2w\\16.8-7.2=2w\\9.6=2w\\w=\frac{9.6}{2}\\w=4.8$

Hence, the width is 4.8 inches

What is the volume of a sphere that has a diameter of 18 in.?

True [87]

The formula is 4/3 times pi times radius cubed. The radius is 9. 4/3 is 1.33. 3.14 times 9 cubed is 81 times 3.14. That is 254.34. 1.33 times 254.34 is 338.2722. That rounds to 338.

C is the midpoint of line segment AB Find the value of x, if line segment AB = 5x and line segment AC = 20.

Softa [21]

D.8

A and C are out because they would get you ether lower or equal to 20, which is equal to AC and your trying to find X in AB which is so posed to be the what equals AC+BC.
AB=AC+BC
5x=20+BC
5(8)=20+BC
40=20+BC
40=20+20

AC equals 20. AB will have to equal AC+ CB. If you put in A.4 in AB 5X you will get twenty and that not what you want. You want to get a number that will get you the an answer greater to AC. So 5(8)=40.

Solve for x.<br> A) -7<br> C) 6<br> B) 9<br> D) 10

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment BC joining the midpoints of 2 sides of the triangle is

Half the length of the third side, that is

x + 31 = 2(x + 19)

x + 31 = 2x + 38 ( subtract x from both sides )

31 = x + 38 ( subtract 38 from both sides )

- 7 = x → A
